Bidding war for BSkyB over : Comcast USA wins 22/9/18
 
Comcast Vs 21st Century Fox (Disney)

At least it will be over.



[All sides involved in the takeover battle agree to a formula to
end the process by Saturday night.
The Takeover Panel said the two American companies bidding for
control of Sky - film and TV group 21st Century Fox and
cable giant Comcast - would be invited to take part in a
three-round auction on Saturday if a competitive situation between
the pair continued to exist by 5pm on Friday.]

Of Course Fox
still owns around 30% in this deal, so soon it
will be Disney will be the 2nd owner of shares
as they are taking over 21st Century Fox (except FoxNews and Sports)

James Murdoch quits Sky as Comcast takes control

Comcast has now bought all the Sky Shares


[Sky said there would now be applications
to cancel its stock market listing and trading - and that this
was expected to become effective on 7 November.]


["Separately, Sky News will benefit greatly from Comcast's funding
commitments over the coming years and the arrangements
that will be put in place to preserve and enhance its editorial independence."]
